markah Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 what is the top speed of the new civic 2.0i ? I have had it up to 206 kph on the bang-na trad elevated toll way. it could do more but my nerve ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berty Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Push if further, I'm sure you can squeeze another 10KPH out of it. I'm sure these family saloons have the chassis dynamics to handle these sort of speeds. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamdomChances Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 You need to try it in 4th to get the best out of it, they won't pull max rev's in 5th.......alledgedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonfruit Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 My friend got 210 (indicated) out of his on the Chaeng Wattana stretch. Be careful on the elevated tollway at Bang-na-Trad. I got a ticket for speeding there two weeks ago for doing 160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibeymai Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Berty, do you mean that auto manufacturers produce cars which can go faster than they are capable of safely ? Surely, as good corporatre citizens, they wouldn't do that. Wow, don't tell US lawyers....they'll have a field day. The manufacturers would have a plausible defence that the major contributing factor to safety at 200kph is the driver, with the chassis dynamics coming somewhat further down the list. I'd rather be doing 200kph in my Honda Jazz (downhill with a tailwind) than 100kph in some of those airport taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Airport taxis are Camries and Tianas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dan Sai Kid Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I rented the new Civic at the weekend - what a great car - I just sold my Vios, as I'm heading home soon and what a difference. Long journeys in the Vios seem like ordeals compared with that car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 It should be expected - extra 30 hp, even in the 1.8l engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibeymai Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Actaully Plus, The Camrys and Tianas are "Airport Limousines". I'm referring to the junk being driven around and passed off as roadworthy....usually green/yellow or red/blue in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
